Five workers were killed and three injured in a factory explosion caused by a gas leak in eastern China, local authorities said Saturday.
The blast happened Friday night at a perlite workshop in Qingzhou City in Shandong Province, city officials said in a statement.
It came barely a week after one of China's worst recent industrial accidents, in which an explosion at a chemical plant killed 78 people.
